Crowns and Bridges

Crowns have two purposes. One is to strengthen a tooth that has been weakened or damaged in some way. A tooth that has cracked, chipped or had root canal therapy is best protected with the addition of a crown. 

Crowns can also be used cosmetically as part of a smile makeover, especially if the natural teeth have suffered damage.

A bridge is a time-tested and economical way of replacing a missing tooth. There are several ways of anchoring a bridge to the teeth on either side of a gap. If you are going to get a bridge at Encino Dental, we will explain the different possibilities to you.
